THE FIRE RECORD.
Dyeing and Bleaching Mills Destroyed, In
vOlving a Loss of $I5O,OOO.

Dyeing and Bleaching Mills Destroyed, In
vOlving Loss of $4,000.
New YORK, April PA quick succession of
terrific explosions occurred this morning in the
Bolton Dyeing, Printing and Bleaching Com
pany's mills, in the village of Bronxdale West
chester county. The shock was like an earth
quake, and extended to radius of three miles.
The mills consist of three large brick buildings,
situated on the Bronx river about mile from
Fordham. and just outside of the city limits.
The mill was discovered to be on FIRE at $3.50
o'clock this morning, and soon all the available
engines were throwing water on the flames. Tho
flames were shooting up fifty feet high, lighting
up the country for miles around. Suddenly an
explosion occurred that shook the country
houses in the immediate neigh borhood TO their
very foundations. threatening to shake
them down. Men. women and chill
dren rushed out of their houses in
their night clothes. screaming and wringing
in rapid succession by four others, that tore off
the roof and end Of the MILL and sent bricks,
shingles and debris sailing through the air g
distance of hundred yards. The fire was got
under control at 6 o'clock. The mills are owned
by Thomas and Henry Bolton and VIM. Fl.
Birchall. The loss is estimated at about $780,
000 Mr. Birchall said that the explosion was
caused by the tin cylinder drying cans of which
there were 100 in the mill Wet cloth is rolled
over these cylinders to dry. 1t is said that q
certain amount of perspiration from the steam
ing of the cloth gathers the inside of the
cylinders during the day, and when the fire
reached them, steam generated and the
women. who comprise the village, are thrown

THE ENGLISH SPARROW.

He Has No Friends, aud Is Universally De-
nounced q Pest and q Nuisance.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The forthcoming re-
port of the Department Of Agriculture on the
English sparrow will be a very interesting docu-
ment. 1t will contain about four hundred
ences of about 3. 200 people with this destructive
little rascal. 1t is doubtful if there is another
bird in the world unanimously condemned as
nuisance this alien. DR.. Merriam, the
ornithologist of the department, who has charge
of the preparation of the report says that the in
dictment against the sparrow is terrible one.
He has scarcely friend in the whole country.
In California he is hated as cordially as the
Chinese; but while it is admitted that the Mon
goiian may be made useful citizen, there is
not a monopolistic employer of
coolie labor who can see tho slightest
use in the sparrow He is accused
of doing frightful damage to the
vineyards of the Pacific slope. He always Sc
lects the most luscious lunches of grapes and he
invariably sticks his bill into the very best ber
ries on the bunch. Farmers who devote their
time to the cultivation of grain report that the
sparrows, wherever they are thick, do frightful
damage to cereals Market gardeners and the
raisers of small fruits. in the vicinity of cities,
say that since the sparrows began to multiply
the profits of market gardening have have al
most vanished. The only known use for the
pest is a substitute for the reed birds One
man in Albany, n Y, reports that he sells hun
dreds of dozens of sparrows every month to res
taurants in that city. where they served up
to the New York legislators the toothsome
little thief of the Southern rice fields. Sparrows
make excellent table birds, and it is thought that
the only effectual method of curtailing their in
crease will be to induce the small boys to catch
them for food purposes.
